After, it is necessary to run 'Auto Discovery' from PRTG for FortiAnalyzer to send a Trap to monitoring tools.

While the PRTG performs 'Auto Discovery', run a debug from FortiAnalyzer to ensure the trap was sent.

 

diagnose debug application snmpd -1

diagnose debug enable

After completing 'Auto Discovery', PRTG will display the FortiAnalyzer Sensor.
